Toad Hall Cottages

Comfort Wood Cottage is a newly renovated, former barn adjoining Newton Farm. The Cottage enjoys a delightful, rural outlook and its own private garden. Walking directly from the property visitors can enjoy numerous walks through the idyllic, adjoining woods which lead to the beautiful Tudor Cotehele House, gardens and 1,200 acre estate, all owned by the National Trust and open to the public. In another direction, a gentle walk across fields leads to the picturesque village of Metherell where an excellent local pub can be found serving good food.
The Tamar Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty and a designated world heritage site, provides a wealth of archaeological and historic interest with its fascinating history of mining and trading along the Tamar River. There is a tidal slipway less than a mile away at Cotehele Quay and the tidal reaches of the river are ideal for bird watching. The pretty and vibrant village of Calstock is situated 1.5 miles away and has further hostelries for eating and drinking. Within 15 minutes drive is the well known St Mellion Golf & Country Club. Sea fishing trips can be taken from the historic City of Plymouth and horse riding on Dartmoor can be easily arranged. Other activities available include canoeing and on and off road cycling, which the owners will be happy to arrange. Tea and homemade cakes or a bottle of wine will be provided on arrival.
